Totally random question: Smells are on my mind today (I have an officemate who reeks of cigarette smoke and overdoses on cheap perfume to cover it up--it's killing me!) and I began to wonder--what is the best smell in the world? I'm thinking--a little baby's hair, fresh bread baking, chocolate?

The first thing came to my mind was my baby grand daughter's hair when her mom hands her to me after a bath! She's almost 6 mos. old.

Vicki, I had a pet skunk as a teenager! Even after being descented, he still tried to spray & had a little bit of a musty smell. But I loved him anyway! He didn't smell like a skunk, just sorta strange!
by basketkase 23 Feb 2012
LOL, Gerry.....they are such cute little critters, if they didn't smell, I'd probably bring the one in from the garage!
I left the door open all day yesterday, so I hope it got out, it did smell better in there today.....

Aaaaah. Gardenia's, the smell of Christmas for me.

Grass, freshly mowed after rain.....

Rain, soaking the parched earth after a stinking hot, humid, Aussie summer day....

The smell of Bar B Q's cooking outdoors on a sunny afternoon..............

The nostalgic smell of children's school cases......

Oh I could go on forever, there are so many wonderful smells to help revive memories of days gone by

Lovely question! maybe an apple pie with the spices seeping through or mulled apple cider in the fall with the spices. I guess I do like cinnamon and cloves.

I'll have to agree with Kay! Also a fresh bathed baby with baby powder and the smells of the baby soap and baby shampoo still fresh! Also, a walk in the field in the spring when the wild flowers are beginning to bloom. It is usually a very faint and fresh smell. Fresh cinnamon rolls cooking in the oven smells great but the smell will fool you! I do not like cinnamon rolls... COFFEE BREWING!!! my very favorite! I am a coffee holic!
by lflanders 22 Feb 2012
fresh. BUT...Nothing can beat fresh COFFEE BREWING! I am a coffee holic! It is very rare to see me without a cup of coffee!
by pennifold 22 Feb 2012
Ooh! Linda I too love the smell of fresh brewed coffee! I'm just about to have morning tea, but might have a coffee instead, just have to hang the washing out first! Love chris
by basketkase 23 Feb 2012
I forgot about that, I love the coffee isle at the grocery store......even though I am not a coffee drinker...I walk down that isle and just breathe...MMMMM
by airyfairy 23 Feb 2012
How strange Vicki. I also do not drink coffee but love the smell and love all things flavoured with coffee.

Having alergies limit my smells - cig smoke drives me nuts, but think I would have to say coffee brewing and something yummy baking - been a long time since babies were around but remember that lovely feeling of wanting to hold them forever when they were out of the bath and ready for bed...

I live in a dry climate as well so, it's the air after a rain! But sweet babies run a very close second.

Blue Grass from Elizabeth Arden - especially when I have had chemo - it seems to fill my senses and mind with some wonderful delicious fresh smell, and calms my innerself. Just love it and of course (if you can believe this) Vick Vaporub, Vanilla, Carnations, Roses Patchouli Oh I can really go on and on - fresly baked goodies and of course always little babies. ******

Without question...... the smell of a freshly-bathed toddler, wrapped in a cuddly towel.

I always had 'first smell', kiss and cuddle, after drying and wrapping up the babies and they felt so special if the angelic look on their faces is any guide.

As I read this my house smells of fresh yeast bread and apple pie which have just come out of the oven. Yum Yum! I also love the smell of Musk perfume and Old Spice after shave. My grandgirls are the best though, sugar and spice and everything nice. LOL

Well now a difficult one here...but here goes;Fresh coffee for sure and also fresh bread from the oven(come to think of it,just about anything from the oven :-) !!),and I have to say,the smell of a puppy! Have you ever noticed how different a puppy smells? It is so special...
Also some perfume of course..Blue Grass for example... A good question!
